CWE-695: Use of Low-Level Functionality
The product uses low-level functionality that is explicitly prohibited by the framework or specification under which the product is supposed to operate.
How it's found
Use of Low-Level Functionality is typically found by tracing untrusted input from where it enters the system to the point where it is used without the check or neutralization this weakness describes, combining manual code review with dynamic testing.
The use of low-level functionality can violate the specification in unexpected ways that effectively disable built-in protection mechanisms, introduce exploitable inconsistencies, or otherwise expose the functionality to attack.
